"Is it to fight against the seal and prevent Yuyuko from forming a mystical connection with Nijo Castle?" "Or should we inform the cabinet and the Union of what is about to happen here?" When Luo Shu said this, he looked at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan calmly, then shook his head and said: "To be honest, I can't imagine what role the Hanakaiin family will play in joining this plan." "Just talking about the Hanakaiin family, the feathered fox demon alone can defeat the fighting power of your entire clan." "Not to mention the Gomon family who are supporting her behind the scenes, the Tsuchimikado family who are secretly supporting her, and me and the Nura group who are hiding deeper." "As for informing the cabinet, it may indeed make those politicians consider strengthening the seal to avoid accidents in the Kyoto area, but given the efficiency of the cabinet, by the time they come up with a conclusion, the Nue will probably have been resurrected long ago." "The only ones you can rely on who are willing to act are the Twelve Akabane Families of the Samurai Shu. After all, they don't want Abe Haruaki to be resurrected and strengthen the power of the Onmyoji." "But joining forces with the warriors would mean a standpoint, and for the Hanakaiin family, who have been the royal family's onmyoji for generations, it would be a political betrayal." “There is no way to influence the overall situation, and there is no way to do anything that can really influence the overall situation.”
"With a Huakaiyuan family like this, why should I let you join the chessboard, become chess players, and share the subsequent benefits?" "Is it because you are so shameless?" Luo Shu's naked words made Lao Xiuyuan and Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan silent for a while. However, compared to the old Xiuyuan who had nothing to say, Hanakaiin Xiuyuan, who looked younger but had the highest seniority, had a smile on his face. "Indeed, it is difficult to become the winner just by paying the resources of the Hanakaiin family." Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan shook his head and sighed, then smiled and said to Luo Shu: “How much more do you need?” Luo Shu suddenly glanced at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so sensible. Luo Shu calmly picked up the toothpick on the low table in front of him, inserted a piece of yokan, put it into his mouth, and then said: "I have always believed that the success of a collaboration depends mainly on whether you can accurately identify the other party's needs." "Demand!" Hanakaiin Hidemoto suddenly realized. He glanced at Luo Shu, thought seriously for a moment, and began to calculate with his fingers, obviously fortune-telling something. A few minutes later, Hanakaiin Hidemoto said with a smile: "The Huakaiyuan family can provide 100 million US dollars in sponsorship every year." "Ah~" Luo Shu raised his head slightly and looked at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan with a little surprise. Seeing this, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly complained about Luo Shu's evil heart. For a company of Huakaiyuan's size, one hundred million US dollars a year is already the profit it can earn even if it operates at full capacity. As a thousand-year-old family, the most valuable assets of the Huakaiyuan family are the funds from land operations, the income from demon-exorcism from the main job in Yinyang City, and the related funeral industry that they control. One hundred million US dollars a year can be said to be the greatest sincerity, but now it seems that this is not enough to satisfy Luo Shu's appetite.
Will the bleeding continue? Hanakaiin Hidemoto's fingers were pinching so hard that afterimages were almost visible. After a full twenty seconds, he said: "The Hanakaiin family can send 10 Onmyoji every year to assist the Secret Management Department." ?Luo Shu touched his chin, seemingly without much reaction. Seeing this, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's face twitched, and then said: "Internal secret information and abyss props can also be opened to the Secret Management Department." Upon hearing this, Luo Shu glanced at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan, but still said nothing. Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was speechless now: "Minister Luo seems to be very greedy." Luo Shu just smiled at this time: "Whether the relationship between two families is strong or not, it shouldn't just be based on money and resources, right?" Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was stunned. He obviously understood what Luo Shu meant. He was shocked and said: "this...." "Mr. Luo Shu, You Luo is only eight years old?!!" Chapter 384 The 'Strongest' Onmyoji Family "Yuura is only eight years old?!!" Luo Shu couldn't control his expression after all, because he heard Tokisaki Kurumi's laughter beside him. Although he did hint at this, is there something wrong with you, Hanakaiin Hidemoto? How could there be an ancestor who would blurt out a marriage proposal for an 8-year-old girl? Could it be that the Huakaiyuan family couldn't even find a sixteen-year-old girl? Luo Shu's face twitched a few times, and he tried hard to suppress his expression. Gradually, he restrained his look and stared at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on him. Being looked at like this by him, Hanakaiin Hidemoto seemed a little uncomfortable. He spread out his folding fan, covering the lower half of his face, and said with an awkward smile: "Ahem, Mr. Luo Shu, you know I'm already dead. If it weren't for the Hanakaiin family's technique 'Shikigami Pojun', I might not even have retained my consciousness." "As for the shikigami Pojun, only the successive masters can practice it." "And Yuura is such a candidate for the title of Lord." "So among the younger generations of the Hanakaiin family, I only know Yuura. Is this normal?" Hearing this, Luo Shu just frowned and said: "Why are you so sure that I'm looking for Hanakaiin Yuura?" "Don't play tricks on me. You should understand that the abyss item I carry with me is far beyond your limit."
Hanakaiin Hidemoto couldn't keep a straight face, because he knew that this matter could not be made public. If it was made public, Luo Shu would blame him to death. How can you, an Onmyoji who died long ago and can only rely on the appearance of Shikigami, know Luo Shu's thoughts? Even if there is divination, it still depends on the prior intelligence conditions and abilities. Although Hanakaiin Hidemoto was strong, he was only a heroic Onmyoji during his lifetime. It was impossible for him to predict the situation of Luo Shu, who was protected by a demigod-level abyss item. Therefore, there must be someone helping Hanakaiin Hidemoto behind the scenes. However, that person possesses the ability to break through the divination blockade of the Encyclopedia of Mysticism and predict Luo Shu's related actions. Even though this divination may not be very accurate, Luo Shu was still full of fear. How could Luo Shu feel at ease if he didn't find out who was behind the scenes? Seeing Luo Shu's questioning, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's mouth twitched, as if he was talking to someone. Finally, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was obviously relieved, looked up at Luo Shu, and then said thankfully: "Oh my, I didn't expect that she didn't have any intention of hiding it. It's really lucky. I thought I had messed up." "?" Luo Shu narrowed his eyes and stared at Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan. He didn't know who the 'she' Xiu Yuan was talking about, but Tokisaki Kurumi beside him didn't send any signal, which meant that there was no great danger at the moment. So Luo Shu just sat in his original position, waiting for Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's explanation. At this moment, Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan closed his fan, tapped the low table in front of him and said: "Minister Luo, which family do you think is the most powerful Yin-Yang magic world today?" "Asakura family." Luo Shu gave the answer almost without thinking. Although the Tsuchimikado family controls Onmyoji and is the management family of the Onmyoji Ryo, when it comes to hard power, it is actually not as good as the Gomon family in the dark. But whether it is Tsuchimikado or Gomonin, they are far from meeting the standards of the strongest Onmyoji family. Because above them, there is a thousand-year-old family called the 'Asakura Family'. The 'Asakura Family' where Asakura Ye Wang was born! "It seems that you also know something about the situation." Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan was relieved when he saw Luo Shu's answer, and then said with a smile: "Although Tsuchimikado holds the reins of Onmyoji and the Gomon family secretly controls the order of the monsters, when it comes to the accumulation of Onmyoji, the strongest one is the Asakura family." "Haha, the current Asakura family members, including those who are not direct descendants, are no more than 10 people, but the Asakura family is indeed the strongest Onmyoji family, and the most important reason for this is..." After being reminded by Hanakaiin Hidemoto, Luo Shu immediately realized the existence of something: "Holding a spirit?" "Yes, it is the holding spirit."
Huakaiin Xiuyuan tapped the low table lightly, and above the table, rays of white light wrapped around the tea set and slowly floated in the air. This was achieved by Hanakaiin Hidemoto by communicating with the spirits in the atmosphere and using their power. "The 'psychics' who can communicate directly with gods, spirits, and even the spirits of the dead, and the gods, spirits, and dead spirits who sign contracts with them are called spirit holders." "And the reason why the Asakura family, with less than ten people, is regarded as the strongest Onmyoji family is that they have accumulated a huge amount of possessed spirits!" "The former and latter demons held by the founder of Onmyoji, Yi Xiaojiao, the thousand-year-old cat spirit 'Nekomatari-gu' that Asakura Yexian relied on to defeat Asakura Yewang five hundred years ago, the spirit of the mountain god of Osorizan, the spirits of the ancestors of the Asakura family, and the great spirits that have existed for more than five hundred years..." "Holding these powerful 'Holding Spirits', as well as various treasures accumulated over thousands of years." "It can be said that the power of the Asakura family alone is enough to suppress the entire island country." "In fact, the Underworld Mountain on the ground that is related to hell is guarded by the Asakura family for generations." Hanakaiin Hidemoto slowly described the power of the Asakura family. There was no fear on his face, only a faint sigh: "Although the Hanakaiin family has the power of ancestors accumulated by the shikigami Pojun, they are still no match for the Asakura family." "With the inheritance left by King Makura Ye and Makura Yexian, the members of the Makura family in all generations are powerful psychics. After their death, together with the spirits holding their own contracts, they will protect the Makura family for generations." "After thousands of years of accumulation, the Asakura family has an incredibly deep foundation. Anyone who knows of their existence knows that the true king of the island nation is not in that small imperial residence, but in the desert of Mount Osorezan." Listening to Hua Kaiyuan Xiuyuan's long speech, Luo Shu didn't care about the fourth place's envy of the first place, and just asked: "How did the people of the Asakura family predict my situation?" "The child adopted by the Asakura family this generation, 'Osorezan Anna'." Hanakaiin Hidemoto betrayed the information without hesitation: "That girl had contact with Yuura when she was studying at the Onmyoji Institute. It was also at that time that she discovered my existence, so we had some interactions." "Minister Luo's situation was also the result of Miss Anna's divination." At this point, Hanakaiin Hidemoto gave a wry smile with an expression of unwillingness to admit his age: "That girl is probably the strongest 'witch' I have ever seen in my life!" When he recalled the scene where Anna Osorezan controlled the front and back ghosts, Hidemoto Hanakaiin shuddered. Even the spirit possessed by Yi Xiaojiao, the founder of Onmyoji, can be used like a dog. That girl is probably one of the strongest psychics in the world today, perhaps even second only to King Asakura Ye. Although it was unclear why the girl paid attention to Luo Shu, it was better for him, an ordinary 500-year-old spirit, not to get involved in such a fight between gods. "Is it Anna of Horror Mountain?" Hearing this familiar name, Luo Shu couldn't help but mutter to himself. Why does she pay attention to herself? . Chapter 385 Further discussion
Anna of Osoriya. A woman who possesses the same "power to see through people's hearts" as the Asakura Leaf King a thousand years ago and is chased by spirits, Aomori Fei? Its power is so strong that it can even directly summon the dead in hell and borrow or even use their abilities. Such a person, after being trained by the Asakura family and gaining the support of that family's massive number of spirit holders, there is almost no controversy about saying that he is the strongest person under King Ye of Asakura. But even so, the other party actually broke through the divination blockade that Luo Shu had set up for himself using the Encyclopedia of Mysticism, and divined some of his situation, which still surprised Luo Shu.
